Lady Fantasy - Camel

Sure, that's low hanging fruit.

Sorry...

No RIO/Avant-Prog, no Canterbury, no Crimson, no Magma. I'm out...

Glad to see PFM, but Per un Amico or Storia, or L'isola di niente are more deserving than Cook.

And As far as...

One of my top 10, or higher, favorite composers.

He left us with a lot of incredible music.

Right up there with Charles Wourinen and Elliott Carter for me.

I am most likely going to the LA performance 4/1.

Still haven't completely made up my mind, but definitely leaning that way.

Brilliant album! As was "Crafty Hands".

Great musicianship, brilliant melodies, sense of humor, haunting at times.

"Better Late..." and "The Muse Awakens" are also quite good, if one thinks...

Radio Gnome Invisible - Gong

The World Became the World - PFM

(kind of low hanging fruit)

Frank Zappa at the LA Sports Arena.

We had pretty good seats on the floor, not too close. But the venue had so much uncontrolled reverb that everything was unintelligible. Big wall of mush. We...

Wooden Smoke - Mike Keneally

Ship of Fools - Van Der Graaf Generator

Winterthru - Echolyn

Einstein on the Beach - Philip Glass

I am a bit surprised by this thread.

I always thought that the kind of 'naïve surrealism' style of Trespass, Nursery Crime, and Foxtrot were pretty highly thought of.

I think they do a great...

There are a few decent recordings on that list...

But seriously, 2021 releases by Manna/Mirage, Acordo dei Contrari, Ghost Rhythms, Celeste, French TV, Panzerpappa, SKE are all better than...

Easy Money - King Crimson

Are Friends Electric - Tubeway Army

Cat Food - King Crimson

Magic is a Child - Nektar

My brief, but humorous Brand X story from one of the Roxy gigs in '79, with Phil.

Lumley (or was it Robinson?) hits a note on his Prophet synth, and the thing puts forth a nasty sound, then goes...

European Things (hommage à Frank Zappa) - After Crying

Dream and Reality - Grobschnitt

Last night, it was:

Bruno Maderna - Oboe concertos 1 (1963), 2 (1967), & 3 (1973)

Kind of stark, but equally mysterious.

The Art Ensemble of Chicago - Nice Guys

Show Me the Way - Nektar

Time's Enconium - Charles Wuorinen

La conquista della posizione eretta - Banco del Mutuo Sorcosso

(The conquest of the upright position)

Supper's Ready - Genesis

Yeah, I went for the low hanging fruit...

I did a search, but could not find any mention of them anywhere here. I am a bit surprised, since I feel I am a bit late to the party for these two jaw dropping musicians.

17 year old Texas...

Trace of Blood - Pain of Salvation

I will watch the vid later. I really like younger people evaluating prog. It kind of takes me out of my 5 plus decade love for the music, and forces me to reevaluate it. So far, the vast, vast...

Something Wicked This Way Comes (part 1 and 2) - Redemption

Sample and Hold - Bruford

In the Mindwarp Pavilion - Somnambulist

Journey to the Centre of the Eye - Nektar

Labrinto D'Acqua - Yugen

Labyrinth of Water

The Night and the Silent Water - Opeth

The World Became the World - PFM

It looks like you already own, or have been recommended, all the best releases.

Don't forget to explore Alice Coltrane's recordings. Some really good releases in the 70's.

And, let me also...

My limited experience, I see the price of used CD's going up a bit.

This, from my visits to Amoeba Hollywood, Counterpoint records, Freak Beat, and a couple of other brick and mortar stores around...

Born Ugly - Brand X

Clockwork Revenge - Airlord

I would say so.

Maybe not the entire thing, but certainly some of it. I hear a bit of spectramism in there.

The Excursion of Father Smith - Grobschnitt

Huge fan of both thheir releases.

Would have loved to hear more.

Liked them quite a bit more than Alamaailman Vasara.

Three Occasions for Orchestra - Elliott Carter

Four Moments - Sebastian Hardy

In answer to the OP, yes, I have a proper audio system.

Even though it is quite high end, it is comprised of some vintage, new and DIY gear.

My speakers were designed by the (late) speaker...

I'm going to have to completely agree with you on ZU speakers.

I've heard different models multiple times, and I can't listen to them for more than a 20 minutes. They are praised for their...

Dream and Reality - Grobschnitt
